As the Miami Heat work to find their proper pace at the start of this season, Saturday night’s 114-106 road victory over the Charlotte Hornets offered insight into the reality that it is not a case of one speed fits all. For forward Jimmy Butler, it was a matter of slowing down, especially when the result of what turned into the Heat’s first victory was in the balance. For guard Tyler Herro, it was a decision to remain at speed, his energy helping to push the Heat over the top three nights after the entire team appeared out of sorts in the season-opening 116-97 loss to the Orlando Magic at Kaseya Center. Saturday, Butler not only led the way with 26 points, but helped put it away. The key to Butler’s effort were 13 fourth-quarter points, his overall effort fueled by 17 attempts from the line. “That’s such a great lesson for all the players in this league,” coach Erik Spoelstra said, “but especially our guys, our young guys — efficiency, you can stem the tide of a run on the road by getting to the free-throw line.
